I would get a new doctor anti depressants and sleeping medicine made the world of difference for me

Taking meds should be the last resort. People who suffer acute anxiety and panic attacks or severe depression or sleeplessness should consider using meds to moderate our reaction to the tinnitus trauma. If you think you can manage w/o meds, then there is no need to use them. That is my...

I am very sorry to hear about your rapid deterioration. Have you gone to your doctor to get any anti-anxiety meds? A fast acting benzo would stop you from spiraling. Even the worst cases do improve over time. Right now you need to stomp out the anxiety and panic though because that's only...

Not to hijack someone else’s success story, but I guess it is relevant given how inspiring I found @AnthonyMcDonald’s improvements. I was able to meet up with work friends despite waking up with anxiety so intense I was throwing up. It brought it right down and I barely thought about my tinnitus...

"Ashwagandha proven to be just as good as anti-anxiety drugs In a 2000 study published in Phytomedicine, the calming effect of ashwagandha on rats was equal to that produced by the prescription anti-anxiety medicine lorazepam (a benzodiazepine)– sold under the trade name Ativan. The team...

I'm not saying, that xanax is antidepressant.. But i have bad experience with amitriptylin and risperidon(anti-anxiety med).. If xanax caused my worse state.. I dont know.. Probably amitriptylin or risperidon..

@Michael Leigh see why I wont take anti-depressants or anti-anxiety med. Things are made 1000X worse..

SSRI SNRI tricyclic tetracyclic benzos are all ototoxic. All the previous listsings in the post are ototoxic. There is no anti anxiety drug that is not ototoxic. Maybe RTG is no ototoxic and helps with anxiety

This is what I take for anti anxiety, sorry the image I posted earlier didn't post correctly apparently.

What is your Klonopin dose and do you take it to reduce the ringing or for the anti-anxiety effects?

"she had been taking anti-depressants for anxiety and had recently begun to suffer from tinnitus." Probably what caused her tinnitus.

Have had tinnitus for a month, developed, I believe, after taking prescribed Optimize ear spray. I think I definitely need help with an anti depressant. Am signed off teaching and am experiencing severe anxiety from tinnitus.. Tried mirtazapine, helped a little with anxiety but bad physical...

Anti-anxiety medication creates anxiety. That's the irony with benzo's. I had a look at side effects of anti-depressants a week ago, among the most common ones were, guess what: depression. But the manufacturers are cashing in so all is well, that's why they sponsor medical schools and private...

Anti Depressants - I take 20mg Citalopram a day since my onset of T sent me into anxiety turmoil - Cher x

It's not uncommon for those with a new onset of tinnitus to experience a worsening during the initial stages following an "auditory insult" (e.g. noise exposure, ototoxic medication, ear infection). The reason behind this phenomenon may be linked to the findings uncovered by researchers such as...

They all seem to have side-effects for me :( Lisa, would you mind saying which anti-anxiety drug it was?

Probably not a good omen for one of my first posts to be in this thread but here we are. I had mild tinnitus for some 15 plus years but a recent testicular cancer diagnosis and the subsequent chemo have skyrocketed it. I got a new high-pitched ringing to my left ear that I can’t mask even in...

Anxiety meds like xanax work very quickly 15 to 30 mins. They are for sudden panic attacks that you can't get under control.

Hi @Mark H, you did mean your insurance is denying you coverage of these things, correct? Not your doctor? Your insurance may deny you tinnitus therapy, or therapy from a PhD Psychologist, but is is rare that they can deny you covereage from a Psychiatrist (MD). Try to find one of those in your...

> For those of us who take anti-anxiety drugs, let's not get confused that we're taking them for anxiety; > we're taking them to calm the nerves that cause tinnitus. Ultimately, you're taking them in both cases for anxiety. When you don't care about T, T isn't a problem.

Hello Michael and Travis. Even at home the ears respond to everything... I only protect from the laundry and vacuum. The rest is low volume (it's just me) in the house. I have a yard I use to adjust with birds/crickets, neighbors with a dog (LOUD BARK dog - luckily he barks only a few times a...

People advising others to go on depression and anti-anxiety medication via this forum is maybe the most dangerous worst advice on the planet

I know Sherri, I was hoping at least for some anti anxiety pills to help me get back to eating normally

They are called "Sobril".

I'm trying to ask which anti-anxiety / insomnia drugs are considered 'more safe' for tinnitus sufferers? (and which ones sure to avoid) My doc didn't yet give me something like Xanax.

Can I ask what anti-anxiety med are you taking? What effects does it have on you?? I want to try and see if it helps me.

I never ever was in need of anti anxiety drugs even though I went trough major heart surgery twice. T. has me.

got ya,...this f****ing ringing I never took any anti anxiety/ depression meds in my life. I cant take this hell

Hi @Miguel Q, I developed tinnitus right after getting COVID-19 end of last year. I also have anxiety due to it. I was prescribed anti-anxiety meds on low dose which helps me somewhat get thru my day. I haven’t worked since all these symptoms so basically haven’t worked for the last 3 mos now. I...

I don't think it's fair to say "you'll discover you have an anxiety disorder." This shit is real for the people dealing with it even if others can't hear it and doctors can't quantify it. It literally keeps me awake at night when I never had issues before, as in never heard perpetual phantom...

Before I had T I got vertigo for about a month and I had mwrtazapin for anxiety . 2-3 weeks later balance was coming OK but T kicks in . can the anti anxiety pills be the cause for T ?

Hi @tiniturtle @Greg Sacramento I had my angiography. Both the doctor performing it, and my neurologist now say there is no DAVF. They initially said it looks like DAVF from the MRI/MRA. The sound is still there (I would say less frequent, and related to my anxiety levels). For example, on...

Thank you all for your responses and will take them on board.Are anti anxiety drugs different to anti depressants as this is all the gps have given to her at the moment? I think we will try the magnesium though and can I ask Karen what sort of exercises did you do?

I found this article: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22626945 Their results were that Clonazepam (anti-anxiety meds) quiets tinnitus which is encouraging!

'I just feel sad, angry, frustrated and just wondering how much is enough' You are having normal feelings. You must do what helps you. Time is what you need. Relapses are a reality with 'T'. I found that during a relapse I start with anti-depressions, Anti-anxiety meds, Ambien to sleep. After...

Hi there @judy kennedy - Sorry to hear about your and your sister's condition. It's good of you to take the time to become a member of the forum to help your sister out. When I first had my onset a few months ago, I was completely confused about what I was experiencing and I went into a very...

Thank you @Leigh for sharing your story. A high pitched dentist drill describes the noise in my ear too. I'm having a hard time with anxiety, especially in the morning. Do you still need to take anti anxiety meds?

...like a zombie.Things got a little bit better till I took some anti-anxiety medicines.My T reduced and my mind became stronger. I think anti anxiety medicines do have some good effects on T which is caused by shortage of 5-ht? But I heard that some kind of anti anxiety medicines like SSRI have...

Hi @everesting - I think that I would be careful with medication. You seem to be making progress, so I am wondering whether you need any (more) at this point or not. Does the Hydroxyzine not help with the anxiety? I would say have a think about how you are feeling in general at the moment. If...

Thanks Johnothewop, I know I have anxiety and when I had this problem a year and a half ago, I got put on Predisone I think for anxiety. Made me worse off to be honest. I'm not sure what anti-anxiety medication I need? Just hate that this ear infection caused this ya know?

Consider taking St John's Wort for your anxiety. It is herbal and is a mild antidepressant and wont make tinnitus worse. It will help calm you.

Good. Anti-anxiety meds are treatment for anxiety, not for tinnitus. You clearly had acoustic trauma. And even if you were anxious, they have a lot of possible side effects. Including tinnitus. I am glad you refused them.

Are there any anti-anxiety drugs that are not ototoxic? I’m ready to take the plunge. I can’t keep living with this anxiety. Reading through the thread there seems to be for everything: ‘insert drug here is not ototoxic’ and then a reply saying ‘I know a person who developed screaming tinnitus...

How are you doing now?

No, that should be fine. Just don't start any new psychiatric medication. That means anti-anxiety drugs, or anti-depressants.

...some updates. I went to a neurologist and expalined my situation ie tinnitus dizziness headache... he ordered an EEG and an mri which both turned normal no hearing loss... he prescribed anti anxiety and anti depression meds and told me its all stress related and that in time my T will fade away

...within about 3-6 months and it only bothers me now when I'm stressed. Due to other stress factors, I am thinking about going on anti anxiety medications. Then I remembered, they can make it worse. I was prescribed Zoloft in the past, but I hardly took it, not long enough so it would work. It...

I started smoking for anxiety...oops again, ototoxic and blocks the oxygen to the ears. Looking at anti anxiety meds..ototoxic too! Damn...we sure can't do much without potentially making this worse! Kill the anxiety, risk your ears. Hmmm. Go out and live life, risk our ears to everyday noise...

@threefirefour - I would like to know if you have spoken with a psychiatrist/therapist and are you on any antidepressant and/or anti-anxiety medication?

@buttercake, it happened again last night. This time I was fully awake. Scared the heck out me. Needed my anti anxiety meds to calm down. It was at baseline by am but may be related to the meds. Are you still having these experiences? Thanks in advance.

She mentioned two things. One was lower sodium, and I quizzed her about alcohol, cannabis, other foods. She said anti-anxiety meds might be useful. I read somewhere that Xanax is what's been tested.

Monday and I think my case of tinnitus has become severe from these medications....I don’t know how I’ll function if this isn’t a temporary spike from the meds. Sleeping 2-4 hours a night. Losing faith the T will go away completely and lower. It’s only gotten worse.

...sorta a high,,,,although im not into street drugs,,,,,I feel if i could stay high or super calm for lack of better words,,,,my mind would not be on the T,,,,,yet I could have a happy feeling,,,,,just dont know what drug that could be,,,,,what is the anti anxiety ed for sleep? I ned sleep help too

I realize this thread is 3 years old but it still got me thinking. Fantastic that the anti-anxiety med cured his tinnitus. There seems to be endless causes and cures. What a crazy problem. How many people have suffered for how many years unnecessarily because they haven’t stumbled upon their...

@Mrs D , I have a question for you...if you be kind enough to answer me, thank you. Prior to the trial during the year you got T ,have you tried any meds such as anti-anxiety, anti-convulsants, or antideprssants ? and if so which ones and did they have any temporary effect of lowering your T...

Thanks J. I’m actually going to hang out with a friend who has three dogs, you seem to read my mind. I’ll ask the doctor about prednisone. I guess if that reduces the T that helps the anxiety and sleeping too. Failing that have you considered anti-anxiety or sleeping aids? Thanks again.

There is lots of clinical studies on other type of meds too such as Parkinson’s drugs, Anti Anxiety Meds (Benzodiazepines), Anti depressants etc. I'm trailing Sifrol (pramipexole) and its a Parkinson drug. Trobalt on this forum was a huge deal as it was the first med that gave some people...

...to calm my anxiety I was on it for 6 days when I got T. I have no idea if it's related, but it scared me enough to stop the medication. I feel like I would really do better on some type of anti depressents anti anxiety medication but am now terrified it will make it worse. Not sure what to do.
